You are a People Pleaser if:
- “No” is not a word in your dictionary
- When something goes wrong, you are ready with a “sorry”
- You want to win everyone’s approval
- Going out of the way to help others, unmindful of your own burnout
Where does this come from:
- Fear of Rejection
- Low Self-Esteem
- Traumatic Childhood
People Pleasing is a part of life! Let’s set some rules to know How much to Please:
- Instead of offering help – wait for it to be asked
- Practice putting Self first – it’s not the same as being Selfish
- Set Boundaries – so you are not taken advantage of
- Remember – It’s not always your mistake
Childhood trauma & other such serious issues could be hard to break out of. A Psychologist will help you explore these options well!
